I have three sets of split
I have three sets of split ring pliers basically different size 'hooks' for different size rings. get a pair with a smaller hook on the end for smaller rings. One of mine is shimano not rusting yet but I rinse them after using them on the boat a few times, can't recall the other brands but good quality stainless is better re rust.

I love the owners, but they do rust if you don't spray inox on them
having said that mine have been on the boat with me every time I've fished since October 2010 (bought them for a trip then) and still going strong.
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
